Jeremiah 27:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ But the prophets [^Cfalse prophets] are saying, ‘You will ·never be slaves to [^Lnot serve] the king of Babylon.’ Don’t listen to them because they are prophesying lies to you! ¹⁵ ‘I did not send them,’ says the Lord. ‘They are prophesying lies ·and saying the message is from me [^Lin my name]. So I will ·send you away [drive you out; ^Csaid to Judah]. And you and those prophets who prophesy to you will ·die [perish; Deut. 18:21–22].’”

¹⁶ Then I [^CJeremiah] said to the priests and all this people, “This is what the Lord says: Those false prophets are saying, ‘The ·Babylonians will soon return what they took from the Temple of the Lord [^Lvessels of the house of the Lord will be returned from Babylon; 2 Kin. 24:13; Dan. 1:2].’ Don’t listen to them! They are prophesying lies to you.
